Officeworks makes it easy to recycle packaging

Packaging is important to protect products, but Officeworks recognises that packaging uses significant resources and has an environmental impact after use. Messages relating to the disposal or recycling of packaging can be confusing or inconsistent.

To address this, Officeworks have partnered with Planet Ark to develop a packaging recycling label to make it easier for consumers to do the right thing when it comes to recycling. The packaging recycling label uses Planet Ark’s established RecyclingNearYou database to make it clear what can and cannot be recycled.

Officeworks has worked with Planet Ark to design a label that is easy for consumers to understand and that can be applied by anyone to any product with packaging.

The goal of the packaging recycling label is to increase packaging recycling and reduce contamination in recycling bins. Look out for the packaging recycling label on a range of products at Officeworks.
